June 1, at noon, one mounted patrolman, each day and night. The new machines were delivered to the Police Department this week by the West End Electric Cycle Company, 236 Maclay street. Thin is the third sale this Arm linn made to the Police Department. Colonel Joseph P. Hutchison has (treat faith In the speed and durability of Indian motorcycles. The same type of machines is in use in New York City and Philadelphia police departments. Patrolmen Schelhas and Fetrow will be the mounted officers who will ride over the city every hour. Sees Assurance of a Big Year For Touring "Automobile touring is going to at tain a new high-water mark this year." says O. C. Friend, general sales manager for the Mitehell-Ivewis Motor | Company of Racine. Wisconsin, ma- i kers of the .Mitchell car. "More wealthy persons and more persons of moderate means are go ing to take their vacations in motor cars than ever before since the power car came into existence. "There are two main reasons that ) will bring this about. "In the first place, the war in Eu- j rope Is going to keep in this country a large numher of persons, who In nor mal times would have spent the vaca- , tion months abroad. "The second, and still more potent | reason, is that the coming of the mod- i em popular priced car has enor- I mously augmented the number of , those who can afford automobile tour- I ing. "By this method of using the auto mobile for the greater part of the summer pleasure uses, many persons actually effect an economy with their cars. It becomes far less of a finan cial problem to maintain an automo bile at an outlay of, say* $lO a week if by its use the family saves S2O that otherwise would have gone for pleas ure. "In the popular-priced car of to- j day the motorist can get a luxury and . comfort undreamed of a few years i ago. Take the Mitchell I.ight Six for example. There is nothing this carl will not do. Yet. despite Its low cost, I it is not a skimped, cheapened pro-j duction. Its wheel base is 126 inches. I It is thus a big little car. It will carry : six persons to any place, at any time, j or under any conditions. The six I cylinders assure absolute flexibility. I "It has all the appearance and class of the best car built. A low rakish ef fect is gained by fitting the rear axle springs under the axle instead of above it. This results in lowering the body five inches. "The Light Six Is a wonderful hill climber. There is nothing in the way of an ascent that presents any diffi culties to it. A man can drive a Mitchell car all day and never shift his gears at all. This is something much appreciated, especially as most popular-priced machines are sold to men who do their own driving. ''Our Light Four showed what It could do in touring last Fall when a stock model with sealed bonnet cov ered 7,518 miles In thirty days, an average of 25ft miles daily for thirty consecutive days. "It is because of performances like this by cars possible to persons of moderate means that all the jovs of motoring are going to be opened this year to a larger class than ever be fore." New York Telephone Co. Buys 220 New Indians "Constituting the largest single com \ mercial motorcycle order ever placed, ! the recent purchase of 220 Indian mo i torcycles by the New York Telephone I Company is a remarkable tribute to i the efficiency of the pasollne cycle in ! telephone service," said H. Z. Ross, manager of the local Indian agency at the West End Electric and Cycle Company. "It Is no secret that the motor cycle has permanently established it self as an essential unit of the tele phone companies' plant departments and the sales of machines to telephone companies have been steadily increas ing. "Another very significant phase of this record-breaking contract is the returning prosperity it forecasts. Not only is it a desirable piece of business landed hv the Hendee Manufacturing Company, solely on the merit of a su perior product, hut It indicates a loosening of the purse strings of great corporations for new equipment. "The constant high efficiency which the public demands of the telephone services forces the company to subject its motorcycle trouble squad to ex tremely hard usage in all weathers in locating and remedying service inter ruptions which occur unexpectedly over a large territory. "Having been a large user of mo torcycles for several years, the New York Telephone Company has com piled very elaborate and accurate maintenance records, which show that Its motorcycles are being operated at less than 1 cent per mile. It there fore was in a most excellent position to appraise values and Its selection of the Indian exclusively constitutes another recommendation by big busi ness." THE ONLY PAYED BRIDGE THAT CROSSES THE SUSQUEHANNA The Market street bridge is the only asphalt roadway crossing the Susque hana river from the Chesapeake bay to the New York State line. Yislting motorists are surprised at this unusual feature, for paved bridges are rare indeed. It requires a strong structure in the first place to support such n roadway, and in this respect the construction of the Market street bridge is of such a character that it permits of this su perior style of roadway. It is an added expense, too, but it makes this thoroughfare across the river doubly attractive to all— motorists as well as those who drive.—Advertisement. WAR EFFECTS CHOICE OF COT/OR The war has hit the styles. Paul Poiret Is in the trenches, and the military mode is in evidence even in women's wearables. The sales records of Detroit's larg est motor car manufacturers show no falling off In sales hut nevertheless the psychological effect of war is appar ent. Here Is the evidence: The Packard Company, which builds more motor carriages to meet Its patrons' Indivi dual taste?, than any other concern, finds that the trend Is away from the g-ay and varicolored effects. Tn analyzing the season's specifica tions for car finishes It has been found that there Is a marked preference for battleship urays and army greens. Without beinft labeled as such, severnl cars have left, the factorv finished In what Germans term the feldgrau. Convicts to Be Used on Roads of Massachusetts Massachusetts has lust passed an act providing for the improvement and repair of highways by convict labor. The act provides that county com missioners may make arrangements with the Massachusetts Highway Com mission. or with the officials of a city or town, to work prisoners on a high way or with a private owner to Im prove waste land by means of such prison labor. The National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor, while approving most thoroughly of the road work, takes exception to the latter part of this act. There is ample work for all prisoners, both state and county, in state and county work, and under no circumstances should they be employed for the beenflt of private individuals, not even though the work be under state control. This is only another form of the contract system which the committee has found unjustifiable from every standpoint. The Massachusetts statute contains the excellent provision, however, that the work shail be under the super vision of the state highway authorities, but the prisoners shall remain under control of the prison officials. This makes possible the proper organization of the work and promises success in the undertaking. The development of the road work should afford such opportunity to the prisoners to labor to good effect that the National Committee looks for an amendment to the statute at the next session and the abolition in Massa chusetts of every form of contract convict labor. SIGNIFICANCE OK SQUEEGEE The queer little character who has recently been appearing in advertising under the name of Mr. Squeegee, seat ed on Jop of a Diamond Squeegee Tread Tire with an umbrella over his head to protect him from the rain, has attracted a great deal of atten tion and has caused many people to wonder where such a name as Squee gee could have originated. Store owners have long been accus tomed to clean their windows with the. edge of a thin piece of rubber, insertd In a zinc holder, and in some manner or other this utensil became known as a Squeegee, although the word seems to have no particular signifi cance. When Diamond Tires were made! and it became necessary to provide a name for the tread the word Squeegee i appeared to express the idea of the tire makers exactly. The tread con sists of five bars of rubber which cir cumscribe the tread, the three in the center being continuous and the two on the outside broken at regular In tervals, all boilnd together by cross] bars. The nonskld which this tread gives results from a squeegee-like working of these five bars. When the car begins to skid the outside bar wipes away the mud and slime much as a Squeegee takes the water from a wet window, and per mits the other bars to grip tight to the pavement. In fact the principle is j exactly that of a "Squeegee" and the; tread has been well named. Mr. Squee- i gee was originated to typify the Squee- j gee tread in advertising and to tell i car owners about the virtues which his ' tread holds out for them, especially' in wot weather. Whenever he speaks i It is raining, for he always has his' umbrella up whenever he is seen. i CADILLAC EIGHT WINS SPOKANE HILL CLIMB Against a field that included leading; representatives of every type of auto- I mobile motor now in ns<*—four, sixj and eight cylinder—a Cadillac Eight; on May 15 won the free-for-all event; in the hill climb which is held an- i nually at Spokane.

Third Beauty of Landscape Around Chalmers Factory Ida M. Tarbell, well-known au thority on American labor conditions and special writer for the American Magazine. visited the Chalmers Motor Company the other day. She took an inspection tour of the factor;' under the direction of a Chalmers official. The primary reason for Miss Tar hell's visit was the accumulation of data preparatory to a series of articles on safety precautions in automobile plants. She pronounced the conditions existing throughout the Chalmers fac tory to be ideal. Commenting; upon the findings of her tour, she said: "1 was especially impressed by the ex quisite landscape gardening which sets off the Chalmers plant. It Is one of the most beautiful factory sites In the whole country. "Quite frequently in my travels I find a classic facade often conceals a gloomy and unhealthful interior. But I find that the Chalmers plant is light and airy throughout. Sunshine and ozone, you know, are two very neces sary and at the same time two very rare complements of the modern factory. "1 find that every safeguard is taken against accident. The machines which menace human safety are well muz zled." At the termination of her visit at the factory Miss Tarbell was taken for a spin about Detroit in a Chalmers Master Six. Oldsmobile to Put Out New Models For 1916 In the course of the next week or two the Olds Motor Works will an nounce its new models for 1916. Details are being kept secret, as secrecy is an important part of the advertising and sales program the company has outlined for the new cars. "Not a word—yet," said C. V. Mc- G-uire, advertising manager. "You will hear enough before the month is over. Full details will be announced simultaneously in all parts of the coun try. If we gave out anything at the present time. It would, in a measure, tend to kill the effectiveness of our first announcements." It is belleve'l in local automobile circles that whatever the new Olds will be. it will be a lower price than the model 42. which was put out last April at $1,350 and later reduced to $1,285. Up to last year the Olds had been in the high priced field. This company was among the first of the high price car manufacturers to put out a model at a radical reduction and the experi ment proved to be highly successful. The small car materially increased Olds sales without cutting into the business of the model 55, at $2,975. r \ AmerKran ENSMINGER MOTOR CO. THIRD AND CUMBERLAND STS. Distributors.
